New from Chile

Emilio Bouchon arrived in Chile from Bordeaux in 1892, a pioneer of Colchagua Valley and responsible for the planting of high quality vineyards. Some of vines which still remain in production date back to 1912.

Now run by the fifth generation of the same family, Vina Casa Silva has become widely recognised as one of the most significant producers of premium wine from Chile. It has won national and international recognition and over the last few years has been amongst the most highly awarded Chilean wineries.

We have a selection of wines from Casa Silva to choose from:

2007 Coleccion Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon

With an appealing aroma of fresh apricots and mangos, bright straw tones and a honey hue, this wine has a fresh and clean finish. An easy to drink white, which is even easier to like!

2005/2006 Reserva Carmenere

This deep ruby red is rich with red fruits, blackberry, plum and white pepper on the nose. With 50% of the wine aged in French oak barrels for seven months, these are well integrated with notes of jam and oak toasting.

On the palate this has a well concentrated, intense, rounded and ripe flavour but is also well balanced and leaves a very agreeable finish thanks to its full tannins.

2005 Reserva Shiraz

Fruit and oak are excellently integrated in this well balanced wine which has a long finish. It fully expresses all the charm a Shiraz should have with its intense ruby colour with blue hues. On the nose it is also intense, with notes of black cherries and raspberries.

2004 Gran Reserva Viognier “Lolol”

A beautifully balanced white with a vibrant yellow colour. This has a nose which is both powerful and elegant - with  intoxicating scents of apricot, orange blossom and floral notes.

2001 Altura

This wine has a lively, intense and deep ruby colour, while on the nose it’s elegant and complex with notes of ripe red fruits, blackberry and dry plum. Made from 100% of Vina Casa Silva’s own grapes which have come from specific vineyards of Los Lingues, it has an excellent balance between French oak and fruit. On the palate it is also intense, full, rich and expressive, with elegant tannins. �
